Illustrators Extraordinare

The illustrators of children's books bring life to the stories and ideas found within the pages. The pictures they create are sometimes powerful sometimes playful -- but always an important part of the way readers experience a book.

In honor of the important work of illustrators and in celebration of Black History Month, we invite you to visit African American Illustrators. This guide provides information about some of the most prominent illustrators working in children's literature today as well as links to their books in the SAPL catalog.
